AGENDA • SPONSORS & SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS

The main goal of plant managers used to be simply keeping their units running
reliably at full power. Today, many plant managers are overseeing operations in
a highly competitive environment that includes regular cycling and several other
priorities. This year’s Plant Management Institute* meeting will focus on topics
crucial to performing the seemingly ever-changing responsibilities and tasks
required of plant managers and their management teams. Moderated by a Plant
Management Institute Board Member, this meeting will be held as a roundtable,
allowing for open and honest discussion between peers.

Add on Plant Management Institute during registration to get your pass to this
important event today. Electricity generating companies/utilities only.
